January 2007 Newsletter

We at TeamWork Live would like to wish you a happy and successful new year! As usual, we have many new features and improvements to share with you.

SITE RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
1. Backup Site - We have set up backup site so that you can access your information even if the main site is down. The URL for the backup site is http://backup.teamworklive.com. The backup site contains a copy of your data from 24 hours ago.
2. Site Status - We have added real-time monitoring for TeamWork Live. You can view the real-time status of TeamWork Live by clicking the Site Status link found on the bottom of every page.

NEW FEATURES
1. Auto Save - When you are editing an item from the edit page, the page will be automatically saved every 3 minutes. If you accidentally close your browser or your browser crashes, you can rest assured that, at most, you will only lose 3 minutes worth of changes. Just return to the page you were editing, and you will have the option to continue editing the last auto-saved version or discarding the auto-saved changes and edit the original (see image below).
2. Comment Drafts - When adding comments, you can save it as a draft and finish it later. Just click the [Finish later] button to save it as a draft instead of posting it. You can return to edit and post your comment by clicking the edit link.
3. File Upload from Quick Add - You now have the ability to attach a file from the quick add feature. Previously, you had to go to the full edit mode to attach a file.

MESSAGING IMPROVEMENTS
1. Message Drafts - You can save drafts of messages you are working on to finish later. Click the "Finish later" button when creating a message to save it as a draft.
2. Edit Message - You can edit recently-sent messages to fix any mistakes in the message. This option is available until someone replies to your message.

TEAM MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS
1. Inactive Teams - You can mark a team as inactive. Inactive teams are not shown in your dashboard. To mark a team as inactive, edit a team from the Team Management page, and select the inactive option.
2. Custom Invitations - You can customize the invitation message sent to the people you invite to your teams. The pop-up page that appears when you click the "Invite users to this team" button has an area for you to customize your invitation message. You can also save your message as the default message for future invitations sent for that team.
